Virginia Aquarium, Again
We hit the Virginia Aquarium again. We had planned to go to the Norfolk Zoo but it was 40 degrees and pouring down rain. Luckily, the major Restless Planet renovations at the aquarium have been completed so this visit we got to see some new animals like the Komodo dragon!

Valentine’s Fondue
Henry had such a great day yesterday. Unfortunately, this morning he seems to be having quite a lot of teething pain – I think his molars are on the way in. He’s also had three blowouts since yesterday, probably due to either the antibiotic he’s on, the teething or both. We’ve already had to do three three loads of his laundry!
Last night we had lovely fondue for our Valentine’s dinner. It was so yummy. I love getting fed all this great food. Lindsay is a great cook and a great hostess. I enjoy being here so much because of the laidback attitude everybody has. I haven’t had my shoes on since I first got here, because we’ve just hung around the house all day long. It’s been very relaxing.
Today there’s not much more on tap other than some more good food and perhaps some more drinking. Perhaps a little hair of the dog will make my headache go away. 🙂

My first day in Aledo is going great. I’m so enjoying spending time just chatting mom stuff with Linz. And the boys are having a great time together. Henry is loving playing with Fred and Polly, the two labs.
The babies are down for naps and next up, drinks for the adults!!

Destin Tourists
Here are some of the tourist things we saw while in Destin.
The “Whaling Wall” had this great photo of a giant squid attacking a whale.
Dolphins at the Gulfarium.
A real plane at the Boardwalk at Okaloosa Island.
At the Emerald Coast Science Center.
Destin Trip
I had a great weekend with Amy and Ali in Destin. It was a funny trip. I flew to Atlanta, then Amy and I drove to Birmingham. The next morning the three of us drove down to Destin. On Sunday, we all drove back to Birmingham, then Amy and I drove back to Atlanta, and I flew home. Still, we had nearly two full days out in Destin.
We didn’t stay in Niceville very long.
There were a dozen rattlesnakes in this roadside attraction.
The bridge over the bay to Destin.
At lunch on Friday.
Our condo at Silver Beach Towers.

Boone Cabin
My mom and I definitely enjoyed the few days we spent at the cabin with Dave and his parents – very relaxing. And it was great for Henry to have three grandparents there to spoil him!

This is also when we did the dress rehearsal for Henry’s Halloween costume.
Austin 2008, Part Two
We spent the second part of our Austin trip with Grant, Michelle, Larry and Hiroe. It was super awesome. Here are my favorite pictures (more after the fold).
Come on in, the water’s great!
Yummy beer tastes even better in my own glass
